More "Long Pigs"...

We can't help it... Those of us here at Ottawa Horror, really liked this movie!

So in that vein, here's a nice review of it by typicallydia, on her blog. If you haven't been, do go read it - a little bit of life, the Universe, and everything - there's a link to it right there on the right...

Here's hoping we see some more of her writing on this blog soon (no pressure Lydia, no pressure...).

Hopefully the only thing that is frightful is your choice in films this month! I keep hearing that we are in for a cold and snowy season even if right now the temperature is livable. Since I am privy to all kinds of horror news and watch film releases on a regular basis, here is a little bit of cheer to curl up with this month. Surely, there will be even more bitter horror to come in January, but we are off to a good start.

Mayfair - There is usually one horror title to be had each month, so checking in on the weekly schedule is a must. I'm still kind of swooning over being able to watch Phantasm: Ravager on the big screen not long ago! Pro tip: It's on Shudder now, along with the remaster of the original if you missed it!

Bytowne Cinema - The Girl On The Train may not be horror, and neither is The Handmaiden, but both are getting buzz in horror circles

Shudder - The new-to-the-north horror streaming service has us covered. In snow, blood or both! Rob Zombie's latest 31 h…

This week we have a round up of events and movies around the OT that Horror Fans may find interesting.

MAYFAIR THEATRE
Tonight at 8:45 you can catch the last showing of "Hereditary". This film has been garnering a lot of attention lately, both positive and negative, so be sure to check it out.

August 15th is the Ottawa Premiere of "The Crescent". This indie horror/mystery has been racking up awards at festivals across the country. I know very little about it, but the trailer looks intriguing.

And on August 20 and 21st don't miss a big screen viewing of "Bram Stoker's Dracula" with the amazing Gray Oldman in the title role. If you haven't seen this on the big screen, do yourself a favour and go.

You can find all these and more on The Mayfair website.
CARNIVAL DIABLO
Nicolai Diablo brings the last travelling sideshow to town. Dates include August 9th to the 12th in Stittsville, and August 16th - 19th in Almonte. Step right up and see the Stranges…

Horror is a passion project. Be it making a film, setting up a photo shoot, or fleshing out your collection. We all have a corner of the genre we call home and sometimes pulling those corners together creates something fantastic. Jamie Lance is a government office drone with a love of art, horror, movies, and cats. The art, horror, and movies part is easy to see with his recently released book of film reviews, Art of Horror Vol. 1.

I'd heard about the book a couple months ago from an artist that knew of the project. A book of reviews covering not-so-popular films with killer original artwork to accompany each article. Then, the book popped up in conversation again just as it was available. Jamie had been in touch with Wes Knipe at Dead Air podcast and this sounded like a perfectly 'Ottawa Horror' project, so here is a little back and forth about how Art of Horror Vol. 1 came about.

How did you choose what films to feature? There are so many flavours of horror and levels of…
